The Fotografiska restaurant has been serving sustainably prepared, zero-waste food since it opened. Food produced without waste tends to be more flavourful. There are more textures on the plate and the dishes look more colourful and elegant. Today, using ingredients from leaf to root and from nose to tail is a novelty and people come to Fotografiska out of curiosity. In the future, it should be the norm. Fotografiska's kitchen is leading the way and sharing its knowledge.

The Hedon Hotel and its spa are undoubtedly among the best in Estonia, as is the hotel's Raimond restaurant. The food alone shows that the restaurant dares to experiment. This is the birthplace of Pärnu's culinary style. The service is elegant. Local craft drinks are well represented on the drinks list.

There are only a handful of cellar restaurants left in Tallinn. The Stenhus Restaurant at Hotel Schlössle is in a class of its own.

During the Soviet era, Tuljak was built in the Flower Pavilion so that the whole complex could be seen as an example of the success of socialism. In the early years of Estonia's regained independence, the Carina restaurant on this site was like a bright dream of what life would be like in the future. Now the dream has come true. Tuljak is one of the most stylish restaurants in Estonia, both inside and out, and the food and drinks are equally impressive.

Life literally follows the sun at Lore, a bistro on the pier of Noblessner's harbour.

If you run out of things to talk about, the food will make up for it. Eclectically prepared from local ingredients, it boldly incorporates flavours from all over the world and is paired with drinks from an extensive menu.

The small eatery in Laulasmaa is always packed. The food is so delicious, the choice so varied and the value for money so good that people from the surrounding summer cottages prefer to eat here instead of cooking at home. The winter season is quieter than usual, but always cosy and suitable for a longer dining experience or just spending time with a good drink and friends.
